Nelly's mother, Rhonda Mack addressed the crowd about the importance of donating bone marrow. Her daughter, Jackie Donanhue (and Nelly's half-sister) was the reason for the charity game to raise money for the foundation she and Nelly formed Jes 4 Jackie, for African Americans' awareness on the importance to donate bone marrow. Donahue died of leukemia in 2005 as she was awiting for a bone marrow transplant.

In the end, Derrty ENT was not able to retain its title as Loose Cannon defeated Derrty Ent 112-110. No shows were St. Louisan and New England Patriots' Laurene Maroney and Derrty ENT captain Larry Hughes (who was at the Afterparty at Lush).
